 All right guys funny story funny story. You can probably tell by the title what this is gonna be about, but the way it came about was certainly not ideal and Anyone that knows me properly would probably say well, that's just like you Jake. That's that's just like you so Long story short while I was in New Zealand. I crashed my drone so I I didn't tell anyone I didn't tell YouTube I didn't tell my family I didn't tell fucking anyone because I was so embarrassed these things is meant to be foolproof. They meant to You know, make it back every time. It was my mistake. I flew it away with way less battery than I should have and It didn't end up coming back in time. It went down somewhere that I didn't know and I guess The positive out of this is that I actually got some closure So what happened was it went down to someone's property. I never ended up finding it I wasn't even gonna fucking I was gonna make up flyers and put them around the bloody Neighborhood and shit. I mean it's $1,500 machine. So it was worth it But at the time I was so depressed I just couldn't be fucked the one thing I did do was call the police and say a call the Bryton police department, which is That area and I said look I gave them the serial number. I gave them the description Not in the hope of ever ever finding anything But I got you know, I told them what it was if anyone found it Please give me a call blah blah blah gave them my dad's number because I was heading back to New Zealand in a week I mean back to Australia. So left New Zealand had no closure on the issue, but was still fucked off and Lo and behold about three weeks later. My dad texts me and he said what's the serial number for the drone? I think the police have found it and I can't believe it What the fuck? so, um, I Gave him the serial number turns out it was the drone they found it Hallelujah Thank God took still took me another month to get it back here in Australia because my dad's a slack hunt, but that's alright Got it back open it up ready to fucking fly it and It's fucked so Positive is I got closure on the issue. I know where it went and I got it back The negative is that it's fucked and I needed another one. So The camera was screwed. It must have taken a pretty big fall because the casing was like Like fucking opened and yeah, it wasn't good at all. Anyways ended up selling it on on eBay $250 for the whole thing Someone got a bargain if they can fix it anyway From there, I went to eBay. This isn't the end of the story. I went on to eBay and I saw a DJI phantom three or what I thought was a three standard with the two red stripes on it and Was you know, it's so excited to buy it. I saw it. It was just the drone I was like, holy shit. Someone's actually got the deal I was looking for just the drone not the controller or anything because I've still got that Bought it by now 600 bucks. Boom get it here Once again, open me up the box all ready to go fucking excited and I'm like, what what is this? This doesn't look like a phantom three Because it was a phantom two So I've gone and bought the wrong one and actually that's still here and it's been a fucking headache I tried to return it the guy was being an asshole wouldn't let me return it even if Even if I gave him, you know 100 bucks Fucking just that was shit. So anyway, I still got this one here now I've actually just sold that one on eBay. So I'm about to send it sold it for 200 bucks paid 600 The only reason I paid 600 is because I thought it was a phantom three. You wouldn't pay 600 bucks for a fucking piece of shit like that Sorry, sorry, sorry. Excuse my language Anyways lost 400 on that. So that's so that's Probably about 1700 bucks lost so far And then and then and then I thought I had it I thought I had it sorted bought a brand new DJI phantom three standard Which is the lower model Got it here opened it up once again and thought yes, you know ready to go ready to go. Let's do it and I look at it and I think hang on That doesn't look like my old one And what had happened is another version of The DJI phantom three had been introduced to the series after I bought my original one When I first bought it there was only two and they both had awesome camera capabilities But one was slightly less this one has been brought on DJI phantom standard To basically be an intro model. So not only have you got a shittier camera, but the range is Maxed at like 1.5 kilometers and I was getting my other one up to like 5k's away And it's fucking maxed at um 400 feet in the air and my other one can go 1500 feet. So I Debated I debated I looked at it in the box I was like do I start using it because I know once I start using it. I'm not gonna be able to return it and I thought no, there's so many so many places that I need to get this thing to that's way way longer than 1k so once again I've got the wrong one and Once again had to negotiate with the seller was able to return it with Take away that like I'm paying the postage. So it cost me 80 bucks to send it back. So it's another 80 dollars. I lost And now now guys now now is the time I got the right one I got the DJI phantom three not the professional that I originally got was a 4k I got the Advanced which is still got the same range It's exactly the same except the camera capability goes up to 2.7k as opposed to 4k Which I thought was fine because you only pay 400 dollars more for the 4k one. I was like fuck it I broke the other one I'm not gonna do it again. So here it is guys here at motherfucking is finally and I'm just gonna open it right now You can imagine I'm actually quite nervous. What if they sent me the wrong one? There we go That's what you want boom DJI phantom three advanced With the silver little things not the red ones that the standard has and you know what? Return of the drone motherfuckers return of the drone. She's back And funnily enough I'm actually going away this weekend. So I'm gonna take it with me and Another good thing the only positive out of this now is the fact that I've still got I've still got my carry case that paid extra for I've still got two batteries From my old one. So Now I've got three batteries You know, I've still got heaps of spare parlor blades. So Fuck it. I've got two charges now so I can charge the batteries faster I mean, you've got it. You've got to get a positive out of a negative right guys, and that's what I'm trying to do. So Honestly, it's been a while and I know some of you have probably subscribed because Because of the drone because you wanted to see me do some drone videos. Well, I'll tell you right now I've got some wicked ideas and It's you know, it's a beautiful place around here in central Australia.
